redwood forest fairy
disjointed and totally lowbrow...Claire to Mer.
via company email:
I saw you called.
Passed out with all the lights on
In my dream I heard someone say….
“How can you sleep like that??”
And then I heard you or me…it was like a maniacal Claire-Mer combo..
“I’LL MAKE YOU SLEEP!”
and then I put a People magazine with Lindsay Lohan on the cover over my head.
Hahahahaha
I woke disoriented at 7:55….

the economist

Note: this blog is a redo…the original is written on a United Airlines napkin and is probably littering San Francisco.
i was perusing the magazine racks at the airport, looking for some flight reading (get it?). After considering the highly intellectual publications of “Jane” and “OK”, i decided that perhaps it was time i started reading about things like climate change (which the economist cover boasted) as opposed to fashion magazines and classic novels that i fall asleep reading after like ten pages.
It is strange that i would buy “the Economist”, because not only did i hate Economics in college, i actually cried studying for my Microeconomics final because i couldn’t hack it and knew a “C” was inevitable (it was & in hindsight, who cares).
As i was saying…”the Economist” had me at Ahern (lame reference!), Bertie Ahern. Its pictures are sparse yet affecting (bertie sporting a fantastic pink striped tie). In addition, their articles actually continue on the next page (Vogue, for the love of all things great and small, please take note). This greatly facilitates my non-linear pattern of reading which usually includes reading things completely disjointed until the entirety is read.
By the end of the flight (which Craig so diligently tracked- he’s a doll, we are getting married tomorrow should you like to throw us a party)…i had read nearly everything, saving Tony Blair’s “lessons learned” essay for the return flight. As soon as i move to DC, i am tewtelly subscribing, using the subscription envelope (hello, brilliant!). Long story short, read “the Economist” and “the Alchemist” while you’re at it...they’ll change your life, and if they don’t, you probably don’t get it anyways. You probably also fell asleep on a tray table during a “red eye” flight across our fine country and have a serious crick in your neck…oh wait, that’s me.
xo, mer

Mustache Monday Vol. 2
Buenos Dias! Hoy es Lunes de Bigotes! Today we draw inspiration from El Mundo del Arte, perhaps two of the most iconoclastic face/hair marriages of the 20th century...


Ladies first...

then gentlemen....

Que Divertido!
